Yeah, I seen those complaints. I use 8.10 drivers since they seem to work the best for WoW and the 4870. During raid last night I don't think I stuttered but maybe once and I never appeared to dip below 30 FPS. That's doing Mimiron and Gen. Vez (All we got left is YS) Anyway, I run at 1920 x 1200 (max for screen) and mine range from over 100 to as low as 30 (like in raid) I know a lot of the performance is out of my control (server load and the like) but I just hate skipping around during a raid when I need to be as clean as possible doing max DPS. If I am just outside, like in grizzly hills, grinding; I can have everything up and shadows and get around 30 to 40. When I play Quake 4, maxed, the game is silky as hell. I hate to get a new card when I spent as much cash as I did for the ATI 4870 but would switching back to a nvidia make that much improvement? -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...
